9 Mainstreaming best communications and marketing practices Sustainability Communications.

Creative Gallery on Sustainability Communications Online database compiling advertising campaigns from all around the world produced by companies, NGOs, governments, local authorities and all stakeholders concerned by the promotion of sustainable development, as well as by the development of green products and services. Knowledge Management Platform and Partnership on Sustainable Markets and Consumption patterns Platform to track most up-to-date trends on consumer behaviors towards sustainable markets and foster sustainable business development
10 Environmental Information Tools Background Environmental information tools voluntary initiatives to differentiate products based on their environmental characteristics, incl. labels, certification standards, statement, declarations etc. Business: communicate their environmental credentials Governments : buy and persuade behavioural change towards long-term policy objective End consumers: guide their purchasing Environmental information tools as an important SCP element interface between production and consumption patterns
11 Problem statement High degree of diversity in scope and means of communication reflection of the range of products, complexity of environmental factors and impacts Different tools serve different users Rapid explosion: overwhelms and confuses consumers Different approaches lead to inefficiency, unfair competition, duplication of efforts and create additional transaction costs No commonly applied principles to communicate environmental information in a practical and reliable way
12 Key challenges Identify and agree on international principles for design and operation of internationally recognized tools such transparency, credibility, life-cycle approach and systematic understanding of present and future challenges Identify and promote environmental information tools designed and operated by globally agreed principles
13 Proposed methodology Coordinated multistakeholder consultation process a transparent collaborative learning process mediated by an impartial third party 1. A number of basic principles will be proposed agreed and used for review and analysis of existing information tools. 2. Use target industries - resource and labour intensive with highest impact: agrifood, buildings, automobile and metals and retail 3. Dialogues towards international recognition, consensus building and convergence, eg. African ecolabelling mechanism, Tourism Sustainability Council and Eco-labelling project. 4. Capacity building to developing countries, e.g Eco-labelling project. Pilot demonstration project
14 Value-added of UNEP Intergovernmental organization with a global mandate Wealth of relevant experience UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative UNEP and GRI joint work on corporate reporting African Eco-labelling Mechanism Tourism Sustainability Council Eco-labelling Project
15 Implementation process Multi-stakeholder consultative forum to propose a set of global common principles Identify existing international initiatives from the target sectors and map advanced organizations Initiate and coordinate the assessment studies of existing tools to evaluate their environmental effectiveness Develop methodology and design antigreenwashing campaign
16 Anti-greenwashing Discourage greenwashing by providing principles what make a legitimate green claim Take stock of existing studies and methodologies, develop a methodology for testing various claims, draw a framework of principles, carry out assessment studies Develop and launch anti-greenwashing campaign with a number of pilot countries in OECD and emerging economies help consumers become more savvy about evaluating environmental marketing claims; help producers and marketers adopt principles of legitimate environmental marketing; help governments to increase their role in establishing sustainable behaviour through policies based on a framework of principles on legitimate environmental marketing
